Yeah, but in that car and wearing those shoes, you're visible a mile off!

So this week I've been a bit sad and purchased some bits on eBay! My first purchase was a drinks holder ... which of course had to be in matching colours and comes with some storage space! I know it's really sad but I use the car in the winter and to have a warm drink available will make up for looking sad in the car park. The other purchase was due to me wanting to take some window cleaner, polish, etc., to Silverstone. I'd ran out of room in the boot so decided to buy some small spray bottles. Only cost a couple of quid but the space saving is huge. My wife keeps saying I should be banned from using eBay

We recently toured for 11 days with @Geoffrey (Buttercup) - North Yorkshire AO , 2 nights Glen Coe, 2 on Skye, 2 in Durness, 2 in the Orkneys, 1 in Aviemore and finally 2 in Killin. We were also joined for 4 days with @Garyt and @ziplob. I can honestly despite a few midges and it being mildly moist occasionally it was the best trip I've ever done in the UK. Great pics to.

Well we must have used all the sun up over the last few days as the dreaded rain came for most of the day...the guy from BBC weather was spot on, but it didn't stop us traveling from UIG to Loch Leven and most of the Isle of Skye, some really great roads..dropped in passed dunvegan castle...last leg of the journey tomorrow, thinking we will have done around 900miles in total. Internet not very quick will post up a few photos later as I know everyone likes a photo...haha

@Stuart Faulkner - Shows & Events Coordinator has collected his new high performance vehicle...

Or this if times get hard

For the paint I used dulux trade emulsion pretty tough stuff. I used a gliderol electric roller for my door. Just ordered from the factory and fitted myself. They are reasonably easy to fit. Just need a second pair of hands to lift the curtain into place. Went for the insulated aluminium roller. If you want a draft free fit you'll need the full box option basically boxes in the curtain area and you can seal round it. Very happy with it so far and been faultless in 18 months.

Never. Ever. Will we tire of this

The first wide bodies were released some time around 1990 and like the narrow (standard) body were available as both live and independant variants. Production of the live axle wide body continued right up until the end of 2006 when it was finally phased out due to a lack of demand from new buyers,

Hello all, new Westfield owner in sunny Glasgow . Recently purchased 1800 Speed Sport for use in Hillclimb and Sprint events along with dry day outings. Absolutely love it, great to drive, isnt too heavily modified ( yet, not sure about this MT75 gearbox tho !)

Your always going to get bad rain, on our trip from Ullapool to Durness it was best described as biblical, hey ho.

Class F sounds right

You need to do it again now.....the other way round. Did you have a favourite bit.

As Trev said, it's the reason the club ditched the HP colour laser printer for the MemSec to use once the OS driver support ran out, £212 for four cartridges to refill it was ludicrous. Check the cartridge costs and print quantity per cartridge.

Hi Clark, I threw away my HP A4 colour laser and replaced it with an HP inkjet because the laser cartridges were over £200 a set of 4. The printer worked fine but the cartridges were too expensive. check the cartridge yield (no of pages) against the price. I think lasers in most cases maybe cheaper per page, but it expensive when you buy cartridges.. it really depends how many pages you print It would be worth checking the cartridge costs before you make a purchase.. but I guess you know that already If you decide to buy HP , give me a shout I'll give you my HP friends and family login. it might be a bit cheaper..the care packs are much cheaper.

I am going to try and make this Weather & Westfield permitting!

I have a Chinese Special on the Westfield, cost £4 and weighs 80grams. One of my better buys.

I used this. Two tubs for a single garage including exposed ceiling and no coat already on the walls in some places. If only doing the walls and they are already painted, could get two coats in a single garage http://www.screwfix.com/p/sandtex-ultra-smooth-masonry-paint-pure-brilliant-white-10ltr/23771

The advert said it needs just under half an inch room between the seat and tunnel. Luckily mine is a wide bodied and the seats don't go all the way so I had a bit of room. I tried a cheaper plastic version but the cup holders were too large and didn't work with the movement in the car. This one (which cost around £15) seems to be perfect ... although if you see me at Silverstone covered in coffee or coke then you know it didn't work :-)

I have a spreadsheet of all my purchases, I think a notable chunk of my car has come from eBay!

I have wondered, when I keep seeing those storage things on Facebook whether they'd fit. (Again, I use the car all year round too, and like to head out to blast a little further from home sometimes, so the net pockets I have already aren't always so handy as I'd hoped. Mini spray bottles are a great idea for that!

white masonry paint

The Pinot Griot in 2.25l boxes from Sainsbury's, both regular and blush, is surprisingly drinkable - we've had that at the Stoneleigh post-AGM BBQ the last two years and it went down well. About £12.75 per 2.25l box.

If you do go, say Hi for me. Chris with the green Westfield, they should know me! Steve always does a fair, safe and sensible MOT.

Personally I'd go for a sectional garage door, thicker insulation & more secure. As for paint just use a decent brand masonry paint or emulsion if plastered.

Funilly enough I was looking at the exact same roller shutter last night. It's definitely on my replacement list of things to do. The company I have been looking at is http://www.rollerdor.net and most of them have remote openers too. As said above they are an easy DIY fit.

This will get you up towards Edinburgh Its my route to Scotland and the roads are not fast roads but there is all sorts on the route to see and do if you wish too. There is also some great scenery along the way. It would be nice to stay at Whitby or around Alston area.

Just wanted to give the guys south of the border something to remember home...Haha..

It's been quite a while since such a sad news story has generated such polarised views. Even between me and the Mrs have had to settle to agree to disagree. My opinion tends to agree with Jeff. If Mr Hirano was so keen to offer his help and even offer an experimental treatment then he should have been banging on the doors of GOSH at the first opportunity. But he didn't. I generally don't agree with how public this whole tragic case has become and such a topic is not one to be discussed on the likes of Twitter and Facebook where idiots who read the headlines start attacking the parents and the staff of GOSH. But that's my view as I avoid most social media as much as possible barring the odd forum site. Even now the fighting continues about where the poor boy will die. It's just time to let the poor wee soul rest in peace.

Surely this is how exchange rates should work. I bet Greece wish they had there own worthless currency rather than a euro they have no control over. If they did we could go on holiday in Greece reallycheep buy Greek products really cheep. Allowing money to flow into the country. Foreign products (for them) would be expensive so people would buy there own products and this would help there own country and currency recover and find its natural level. Germany which is doing really well would have a strong DM. BMW's would be much to expensive for foreigners to buy. Germany would struggle to export. For Germans foreign stuff would be cheep do they would buy foreign goods allowing money to flow out of the country. The euro was a master stroke for the rich country's of Europe struggling with strong currencies. The outcome is the rich countries got richer and the poorer struggled to keep up with no address. The deflated pound should help strengthen British businesses. Unfortunately we are to reliant on cheep foreign goods and U.K. Indestry is all but gone so the option of buying British is hard for many items . what brexit means really we don't know. It's as if haft the media, politicians and public want it to fail and the other half have a rose tinted view of how it could be. What ever happens it will take some time for a new economic ecosystem to emerge.

Friend of mine works for JLR at Gaydon and had a Tesla on trial for a month. He drove it from there to Goodwood for the FoS. He then had to drive it to a local village to recharge it at a standard single-phase charging point for an hour in order to have enough charge to get to the nearest three-phase fast charging point - at Heathrow. When he got to Heathrow, he recharged it again in order to get home. He started from Goodwood at 1730, and got home at 0200 - if he'd have used his MGB, he's have been home by 2030. Not impressed. Tesla came dead last in reliability in the latest Which? ratings as well. I've been out in it, but there are so many dumb things about it that it's unreal: > No storage pockets in the doors or the centre console, just a glove box you can't reach from the driver's side > No separate charging cable storage area, so great dirty massive charge cable gets to mix with the other stuff in the boot. > Unlocking the doors to let a passenger in while you're in the driver's seat takes FOUR separate inputs to the touch screen > Rear headroom is awful, hard to just get in without bashing your brains out If that's the future, I'm keeping the past.

Fantastic day out. It was certainly a day that we appeared never to be far away from the rain, but never under it (at least for the meeting and run - not sure about the return legs for the guys heading south!) as you can maybe tell from the two photies attached ... one of a slightly more sedate means of west coast transport. Route and roads were fantastic - I've never even been on the Oban - Lochgilphead road before. Good to meet you all and thanks especially for popping up at the roadside for the photos, Dave! Iain

Welcome, welcome! As mentioned, keep an eye on the Local Meets, Events and Kit Car Shows page for all things Clan McWesty! Next run out is this Sunday I'm also collecting names for Bo'ness just now (see forum post under above page) .. unless you're already going as a competitor! Looking forward to meeting you at some point in the near future.

Welcome! Good to have another member in central Scotland. Matt
